Gain Independence with Our NDIS Life Skills Support Services

From Surviving to Thriving: The Power of Life Skills

Sometimes, the line between just getting by and truly thriving comes down to one thing: life skills.

It might sound surprising, but learning how to cook a meal or manage your money can completely change your life. For individuals with disabilities such as Autism, ADHD, or an Acquired Brain Injury (ABI), these everyday tasks can be a real challenge.


But these aren’t just chores—they’re essential steps towards confidence, independence, and community connection. The good news? Life skills can be learned.


At Nascare Disability Support Service, we specialise in teaching practical, everyday skills that empower people to live with more freedom. Through our NDIS Life Skills Training, available throughout Newton, we help you build confidence and capability—one skill at a time. This includes access to our Supported Independent Living (SIL) service, providing real-world support every step of the way.


In this blog, we’ll explore 7 essential life skills every NDIS participant should learn to live more independently and achieve their personal goals.


What Is NDIS Life Skills Training?


NDIS Life Skills Training is part of the Capacity Building support category and focuses on helping participants develop daily living skills. These include things like personal hygiene, cooking, budgeting, time management, and communication.


At Nascare, we take an individualised and goal-oriented approach to training. Each participant receives support tailored to their unique strengths, needs, and life goals, building the confidence they need to thrive.



Who Can Access Life Skills Training?


NDIS Life Skills Training is available to participants who live with a permanent disability that impacts their ability to carry out everyday tasks. To receive this support, it must be included in your NDIS plan.

This training is especially valuable for individuals with:

  • Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD): Enhances social, communication, and daily life skills.

  • Acquired Brain Injury (ABI): Helps restore or adapt skills impacted by cognitive or physical changes.

  • Intellectual or Developmental Disabilities: Supports practical skill development to improve independence.


How Life Skills Training Supports Your NDIS Goals


Our training helps you grow in multiple areas, empowering you to lead a more independent, fulfilling life. Here’s how it makes a difference:

  • Foster Independence: Gain confidence in managing personal care, cooking, budgeting, and travel.

  • Build Capacity: Enhance emotional, cognitive, and physical ability to perform daily tasks.

  • Boost Confidence: Navigate everyday activities and social situations with greater ease.

  • Align With Your Goals: Every session is tailored to help you achieve your NDIS plan objectives.

  1. Personal Hygiene & Grooming
    Learn essential self-care routines such as bathing, grooming, and dressing to maintain overall wellbeing.

  2. Cooking & Meal Preparation
    Master simple cooking skills to prepare nutritious meals and make healthier food choices.

  3. Money & Budgeting
    Understand how to budget, save, and manage your finances effectively.

  4. Travel & Transport Training
    Develop confidence in using public transport, planning travel, and getting around independently.

  5. Communication & Social Skills
    Build your ability to express yourself, engage in conversations, and maintain social connections.

  6. Time Management & Planning
    Organise tasks, manage your time efficiently, and reduce stress through effective daily planning.
